48. Mandarin duck sachet: punishment

Hearing this, Li Anxin was shocked, "Why do you want to say it directly? so that you can go back alive?" she interrupted Su Dingbai's memories.

Su Dingbai looked at Li'an, his eyes were not shocked, the black light flashed, the scene in front of Li'an's eyes changed from the courtyard of the Su Mansion to the imperial study of Ming'an, Su Dingbai wanted Li'an to see the scene of the day by himself.

The man in the dragon robe in the imperial study was already old, and he angrily threw the ceramic cup on the table to the ground, "Su Dingbai, do you know what you're talking about?"

Su Ding's white face did not change, and he leaned over and said, "I'm talking about the facts I saw, Your Majesty, when did your heart also be covered with dust?"

Even if Li An didn't know how to look at people's hearts, he could see the killing intent on Chu Xiuyan's face, but he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Su Dingbai, "I walked out of the curtain today, just to tell you that in the future, I only need to tell the people and things I want to know, you don't have to worry about anything else, don't let me feel that you are above me, and I am at your mercy!"

"Your Majesty, the minister only said what he saw the good and evil, and the power to decide is in your hands, Your Majesty. ”

"But I don't just need loyal and good people in my court, but also a sharp sword when the wicked people use it well! Su Dingbai, you think too simply, you have to learn to be flexible. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister only understands good and evil, and does not know how to be flexible. I asked Your Majesty to allow me to resign and return home to take care of my wife and children. With that, Su Dingbai knelt on the ground and saluted Chu Xiuyan.

Chu Xiuyan looked at Su Dingbai coldly, "You have a pair of eyes that can penetrate people's hearts, how can I let you go?"

"Your Majesty, what if the minister doesn't have these eyes?" Su Dingbai asked, looking up.

Chu Xiuyan looked at him, then turned around and walked behind the curtain, "Then I will allow you to resign." ”

"Bang" threw a golden dragon dagger from behind the curtain.

Su Dingbai picked up the dagger and stabbed the blade into his eye without hesitation, the blood burst open, and Li An instantly covered his eyes, unable to bear to look at it again.

"Why did you say something that gouged out your eyes?" asked Li'an, trembling.

Su Dingbai looked at himself with blood on his face in the illusion, "Because, I saw the true thoughts in Chu Xiuyan's heart, he won't let me die simply, he wants to make my heart dusty, he wants to punish me, and he wants to make my heart full of resentment." ”

Li An was puzzled, "Why did he do this?"

"Because that's human nature, when most people are going in the same direction, and only one person is going in the opposite direction, that person becomes an outlier, that person becomes an enemy of the majority, and I, am that outlier. Su Dingbai smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Since you've gouged out your eyes, and they have sent you to the gate of Qiushui County, why can't you go home?"

Su Dingbai shook his head, "I don't know the reason until now. ”

......

The scene in front of Li'an was constantly changing, looking at the mute beggar in the corner and Su Dingbai who had lost his eyes, Li'an was full of doubts.

Su Dingbai still found the direction of his home, wandering around the city every day, at first, the people in the city would answer his questions and show him the way, and gradually they all stopped being interested in him, and even stopped paying attention to him.

Only the mute beggar would give Sudin some water and stinking food every day, so that he would not starve to death in the streets.

Gradually, Su Dingbai, who had an elegant temperament, also became an unrecognizable and filthy street beggar.

After a cold, Su Dingbai curled up in the corner and burned for three days and three nights, he didn't know day and night, he didn't know the time, and his mouth was full of nonsense. Mute beggars knocked on doors everywhere to find someone, but no one wanted to help them.

At last the fever subsided, the man woke up, his blue hair turned white, and he forgot everything, only to hold the sachet in his hand tightly, and to go home.

It was the first time that Li An saw a person with a white head overnight, and tears fell silently.

Su Dingbai wandered in the city for several years, his body was getting weaker and weaker, and he couldn't see his original appearance because of severe malnutrition, and the blindfolded white cloth had long been missing, revealing two hollow and crazy eyes, and his voice became hoarse and dark after not speaking for a long time.

Even if Su Dingbai appeared in front of Yan Xiruo at this time, she wouldn't recognize it.

When a child screams in fright by him, Su Dingbai will hear others say, "He is a great evil person, you must not learn from him when you grow up, you must be a loyal and righteous person." ”

He seemed to be numb to everything, like a skinned skeleton that could only breathe.

One winter night many years later, Su Dingbai closed his eyes forever in the cold night, his hand tightly squeezed the mandarin duck sachet, and two lines of clear blood and tears flowed from his hollow sunken eye sockets.

The mute beggar "whined" and let out a mournful cry.

The next morning, people found Su Dingbai, who was dead, and the short, obscene man came out again, "Our mission is finally complete, everyone has worked hard." ”

He wrapped Su Dingbai's body in a tattered strip of cloth, got into a carriage carrying swill, and transported Su Dingbai and the mute beggar out of the city.

The carriage stopped in front of the surging Chicang River, and he threw Su Dingbai's body directly into the boiling river. Turning to look at the shivering mute beggar, he smiled and said, "It's your turn, Aning." You ran away at the beginning, and you were left behind to prevent Su Dingbai from starving to death, and now that he is dead, you are useless. ”

This mute beggar turned out to be A-Ning! Li'an looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, and the thin A-Ning was pushed into the river alive.

I only heard this man say, "I shouldn't be blamed for the medicine fake, but your mother's illness is too serious, and my money is used to honor the county guard, how can I afford to buy good quality medicine, I can't cure people, and I can't eat dead people." ”

The man set up the carriage and turned back to the city, and the moment he turned around, Li'an seemed to have been struck by lightning and sat down on the ground.

She covered her mouth and pointed to the front, surprised and grieved, unable to speak for a moment.

"Su Dingbai, Chu Xiuyan is really, really ruthless..."Li'an muttered.

Su Dingbai's resentful spirit came out of Li'an's wrist, looked at Li'an's fingers, and let out a long laugh that looked up to the sky, smiled and laughed, and turned into a big cry, "It turns out that this is your punishment for me, and this is the dust you want to cover my heart." ”

What Li An was referring to was the direction of the city gate, and at this time she was outside the city gate, only to see that the plaque of the city gate reads "Qingfeng County"!

From the very beginning, Chu Xiuyan never thought of sending Su Dingbai home. And Su Dingbai, listening to the sound of the water of the Chicang River, is looking for the Su Mansion in Qiushui County Year after year in Qingfeng County!

The whole city was deceiving him!"The front is here," "The further one is coming"......

This is a prank in which the whole city participates! Su Dingbai, who can see through the good and evil of people's hearts, is teased by this countless evils, which is really ironic.

"Su Dingbai, that little beggar who has been taking care of you is A-Ning. ”

"I know, I just saw it all," Sudinbai choked up.

He turned to look at the raging and roaring Chicang River, and on the other side of the river, Qiushui County, he stared blankly and stopped talking.

Li An also sat quietly, she was waiting, waiting for Su Dingbai to say his grievances, was it to Chu Xiuyan, or to the people of the whole city who Qingfeng County had deceived him?

Sunset.

The man in the dark shirt in front of him turned his head and looked at Li An with a smile.

"Li'an, look, Qiushui County, surrounded by the sunset, is so beautiful. ”
